Or read the manufactures specs, on that piece of paper pasted to your panel dead front. C/H should be available in every big-box in town. Eaton and Murray probably fit... but just get the manufacturer spec.

Cutler-Hammer Type CC

When I looked up 15 amp "CH" on Home Depot says it's for use with heating, air-conditioning and refrigeration-equipment applications. ??? Is this correct?

SD.... CAVEAT... I'm a GC... not a sparky.... but I think (operative word think, not know) :

From what you say and read at HD, I think the Cutler hammer CH panels , using their ch breakers, probably use a breaker that does not trip quite as quickly as some others (current limiting and non-current limiting).

They both trip at overcurrents relatively quickly, but one allows a little overcurrent for motors with a big startup (momentary) draw... like AC etc. Hence that comment was made on HD page.

I do not think you have a choice in your panel to use any other type breaker.

I believe from the spec on your panel, you want the CH style breaker.

Maybe one of our real knowledgeable electrical men will chime in and confirm or explain.
